Cougar creamery wins second national contest

The Cougar creamery has done it again.

Washington State University Creamery’s Apple Cup Crisp won a second national award, the 2014 Progressive Dairyman magazine’s Flavor Faceoff.

The creamery’s entry topped ice cream entries from 12 other universities

The WSU Creamery and Ferdinand’s Ice Cream will be featured in the Sept. 12 edition of Progressive Dairyman.

Last year, the creamery’s Huckleberry Ripple topped a national contest, according to creamery assistant manager John Haugen. The creamery ran out of that flavor after the award was announced and it took a month to get it back in stock for anxious ice cream customers.

This latest award was announced early in July, and Apple Cup Crisp is currently out of stock at the creamery. Haugen said they hope to have it back on line some time this week.

Apple Cup Crisp is made with vanilla ice cream mixed with chunks of oatmeal cookies, green apple and spiced apple flavorings and caramel swirl.

The ice cream is named after the annual Apple Cup football battle between WSU and the University of Washington.

Last year Food Network Magazine editors named Apple Cup Crisp as the best ice cream treat in Washington state.
